Not only are you a night security guard at an art gallery, but you are also apparently located in some kind of paranormal nightmare town called Mirlhaven.

MURDEROUS MUSES PUTS YOU TO WORK As you begin your new job and try not to think about murderous animatronics, Sasha will FaceTime you to wish you well on your first night. After she bids you farewell, you can begin wandering around the gallery. Next to your security desk is a bust with a button on it.

Night one starts easily enough. Walk around the gallery, open crated paintings, and hang them in the correct place. Each of the paintings is by murdered artist Mordechai Grey, and it’s up to you to solve his murder on the first anniversary of his death.

Empty spaces with titles show where paintings should go. You will know you’ve done it correctly when the J.A.I.M.E. button appears next to the title. Each night will reveal more paintings for you to hang.

Once you are done, head back to the security desk and sit. Although, if you’re interested in some fun easter eggs from developer D’Avekki Studios Ltd, take a look in the staffroom. There are some subtle and not-so-subtle nods to previous games in there.

I HOPE YOU’RE READY FOR PUZZLE SOLVING Placing the painting on the wall will reveal that it has three strange red marbles on one side. Whenever you place the painting and press the plaque, one marble is used, and the plaque changes. Plaques will only change if there is a marble left in the painting.

Once you complete the tutorial puzzle, a key will appear, and you can leave the room. Things will appear the same, but press J.A.M.I.E.’s button to discover that the voice yelling at you to wake up has replaced her.
